The Compass Poem by Aurora Andersch

What you need or what you want
A question you must ask
As the compass spins to guide you on the path
It will show you your deepest desires
Or the things you need most
To bring you to what you choose
You must remember though
This tool must not be used for greed
For if you use it far to much
A soul it will need
Choose wisely with this gifted tool
For you only have three chances
But the wisely you choose
The more you may use
This gifted compass of lore
